Jimmy, Jimmy, 
 Where have you been? We had a date. 
 It's four am and you're 
 Five hours late again. 
 Jimmy said he had a feeling tonight... 
 He couldn't go to sleep, 
 It was getting light... 
 Drank some coffee and I got a buzz, 
 So I got myself a fifth with a friend. 
    And then the lights go out, and 
 He said it'll be the same as yesterday, 
 Hey-hey. 
 When the lights go out, 
 It'll be the same, 
 Hey-hey.   
 Simi Valley, where the hell is that? 
 When I woke up, I swore I'd quit, 
 No more, no more, I swore I swore.   
 And then the lights go out, and 
 He said it'll be the same as yesterday, 
 Hey-hey. 
 When the lights go out, 
 It'll be the same, 
 Hey-hey.   
 I slept with the door unlocked 
 When I left her... 
 I thought she might come back, 
 Even though I knew her 
 Better than that, 
 And I was better off, I did it anyway.... 
 I'd wake and hear her voice decay 
 Into police sirens far away. 
 Jimmy said he had a feeling tonight... 
 He couldn't go to sleep, 
 It was getting light... 
 And then the lights go out...
